A magnificent unbeaten double-century by captain Jason Holder and a calm, supporting century from Shane Dowrich put the Windies in total control after three days of the first Test against England at Kensington Oval on Friday Jan 25,2019
Building on an already considerable first innings lead of 212 after Holder chose not to enforce the follow-on on the second evening, the skipper himself led the way with a commanding 202 not out, dominating an unbroken seventh-wicket partnership of 295 with Dowrich, who was on 116 when the second innings declaration came in the final session with the Windies at 415 for six.
Set the virtually impossible task of getting 628 for victory, or less impossibly, batting a little more than two days to save the match
Holder and Shane Dowrich, who made a more patient century with an innings of 116, put on an unbeaten seventh-wicket partnership of 295 at Kensington Oval in Bridgetown.
